[su_dropcap style=”flat” size=”4″]W[/su_dropcap] I just had lunch, and I’m giving all the credit to this Beet Smoothie! Ingredients most prominent here are Beets and Chia seeds. The chia seed has incredible history dating all the way back to the 16th century and is known as a “superfood” for survival.

Pre-Columbian Aztecs and Mayans used chia seeds as a main part of their diet, and the Aztecs used the seed to stimulate the flow of saliva and to relieve joint pain. That’s pretty neat!

Chia seeds are very high in omega-3 fats. Beets are high in many vitamins and minerals, cleanse the body, increase mental health (high in folate), and provide energy.

Used here are RAW beets; beets lose more than 25 percent of their folate when cooked – and we need those! Folate strengthens the neural tubes.

For the protein, I used the Warrior Blend Natural by SunWarrior. Their supplements are ever so tasty and packed with best raw, plant-based supplements and protein powder that includes essential amino acids and heart-healthy foods.

I also blended:

Coconut water

granny apples

oranges

spinach

fresh – raw ginger

protein powder for extra oomph

The end results are a gorgeous deep red color. Enjoy it, and comment if you end up trying it. Thanks for stopping by! Stay healthy, my friends.
